Checking in as Day 9 AF comes to an end. Finding I talk out loud to myself a lot lately. My dog passed about 2 months ago so can’t use her as my sounding board any longer. So far I guess I’ve given myself decent advice

@dls @AyBee @C_8 Awesome numbers! Congratulations!
@Nowenbrace I’m glad everything is okay!
Don’t normally check in this time of night just felt like talking. I have a feeling I’m going to be awake all night, Insight Timer may not help. Made the mistake of having some coffee. It’s not just the caffeine but it’s adding to my irritability (I posed a question on Stack Overflow and a few idiots actually downvoted my question and nobody has answered yet). Hate it when dumb shit gets on my nerves.
It’s been a pretty good day though so I’m gonna place some jazz and read a book and stay away from the computer (except for you guys!)
G’nite, fam!

You’re right; I should have said Good night and/or good morning.
Enjoy your day!
Edit: just saw the kitty picture, absolutely adorable. Everybody tells me I should get a cat…
#Day 1634 
Bad wet weather overhere. But I cannot change it 
Not much to say beside: I’m good.
Enjoying my time off from work. The new old cat is blending in easy. She lived 3 days hiding behind the couch and now her domain is on the couch.
Cats are in my life for many years. My previous cat gave me the last push to stop drinking (read the story about it in my profile). Sober since.
Taking care of an animal makes me happy.
Yesterday she sat almost on my lap…almost!
Babysteps, but still forward!
Just like our recovery!!

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
It’s been raining for 24 hours straight now. With some sleet mixed in. It will stop at some time right. Right?
@ASpray Congrats on 4 days. Today is just another day Adam. You know the deal. This is black and white. We use or we don’t. And when it gets hard come here. Have a look in the Friday Thread for example. Friday Thread #2

Day 314
I’m really struggling with feelings of regret for the past at the moment. It has been triggered by the death of a friend, which highlighted that I’ve been unfriended on FB by someone I thought of as a family friend. I contacted her about the death and there has been no reply. I’ve found myself looking through old messages to see if I can find an explanation but that has just brought up multiple unrelated memories that I’m finding extremely uncomfortable. I decided to clear out my old messages, right back 15 years or so.
My appetite is always the first thing to be affected when I’m upset but I’m glad to say that I still made a lovely meal for my daughter and me last night and still managed to eat it. It took a bit of effort to start cooking but I got there in the end.
I’m also able to see that where in the past I would have been utterly floored by this type of thing, I am actually managing a lot better. Yes, I’m still upset but I’m not crippled by it and it hasn’t made me lose any sleep. Just before I fell asleep last night I made a meditation where I had a shallow wicker bowl that was full of pebbles and rocks and I emptied them out and then selected several items and carefully arranged them back into the bowl. It was like a mini zen garden. I found that very soothing.
I’m thinking about looking into getting some type of therapy again. I have quite a clear idea of what I want to work on and I think I’m ready to do a bit of emotional digging. I’m going to start putting feelers out for that.
My daughter is going on an adventure weekend today so I need to go and pack her bag now. And then it’s just me and my teen son for a couple of nights.
Have a good day everyone

Day 9
Good morning sober community. How are you all doing? I’m doing good but dealing with unhelpful customer service will drain the joy of out of you. While dealing with this, it dawned on me that I would HATE to be on the receiving end of my anger. Now I’m realizing why people don’t really mess with me because I operate from a very simple maxim: be nice and I’ll be nice, cross me and I’ll take you for a ride. Anyways gonna go for a run to let off some steam.
